We’ve greatly enjoyed framing Alan Tuttle’s paintings over the years. I think the first one was “The Falls,” at right; we also had fun framing “Flower.”
Here are two more frames we made for Alan recently. The artist, who lives in Delaware, didn’t ship the paintings to us. For these pictures, we just Photoshopped his paintings into the frames.
Both paintings are in 4-1/2″ wide carved walnut compound mitered frames finished with linseed oil. “The Lauren H.” is 20″ x 32-1/2″, and has an 18 kt pale gold liner. Trevor made the frame.

“Ripples” is 30″ x 40″. This frame, which is also 4-1/2″ wide and walnut, has a white gold slip. A modified version of the frame on “The Falls” at the top of this post, the carving pattern connects to the enchanting and wonderfully rendered web of cypress branches. The result is a familiar Gothic pattern, reminding us of the organic inspiration of the Gothic architectural tradition.
